Communists Do Not Back Border Action
JEJRirSALEM, (JTA) — The Foreign Affairs and Security com¬ mittee of Israel's Parliament was reported to be planning to consider the border incidents In which five Israeli Arabs were killed while trying to cross over into the Egyptian held Gaza Strip.
It was emphasized, meanwhile, that all factions, excluding the Communists were backing the stand of the Government in upholding the border actions.
Reports by C3ilef of Staff Zvi Tsur, police inspector Joseph Noh- mlas and the head of security services at a special Cabinet meet¬ ing on the border security situa¬ tion and the circumstances of the shootings convinced Cabinet members that ths border forces had no alternative but to fire at the potential border trespassers.
After hearing the reports, the leftist Mapam withdrew its pro¬ posal for establishment of an In¬ quiry committee to review the shootings. A Cabinet statement stressed that it was the duty of security forces to prevent illegal border crossings and to defend Is¬ rael from spies, saboteurs and murderers. The statement stressed that documentary evidence had demonstrated that rumors of al¬ leged mutiliation of the bodies of the five Arabs were spread by elements "hostile to the state."
"The Cabinet is satisfied that the security forces acted in ac¬ cordance with the law," the state¬ ment said. It was recalled at the Cabinet meeting that a member of a kibbutz near the Gaza Strip was killed when he failed to Ident¬ ify himself while walking near the border.
The Cabinet emphasized that any Israeli citizen oan leave the country legally and that the fact that the five Arabs tried to cross secretly Indicated that they were involved in Illegal activities. It was assumed they were part of an organized group acting on behalf of the tJnlted Arab Republic in¬ telligence and that they apparent¬ ly intended to return to Israel. Israel sources indicated that UAR
Intelligence activities have been stepped up considerably in recent months.
As life In the Arab towns were the centers of protest demonstra¬ tions returned to normal, police began a trackdown of "Nasscrit elements" known to have been be¬ hind the anti-Israel demonstra¬ tions. The suspects, who are be¬ lieved to be part of an organized group, and whose names are known to police, disappeared from their homes as soon as the dem¬ onstrations were, brought under control.
As police In Haifa announced they had arrested the organizer of an Egyptian spy ring in Israel, a group of young Arabs in the port city said they had formed an organization to prevent fur¬ ther deterioration of Israeli Jew¬ ish-Arab relations.
Police identified the organizer as HannI Arrabeh, 19, who they said had crossed into Egypt last November and took part in broad¬ casts aimed at inciting Israel's Arabs. They said he then switched to intelligence and returned to Israel.
The young Haifa Arabs distrib¬ uted leaflets asserting that the Arab population wanted to live peacefully with Its Jewish neigh¬ bors. It called upon the Arabs in Israel to restrain themselves and to Indulge In no hostile dem¬ onstrations against the Israeli authorities.
"Let us carry on the fight against the Government's policy by legal means," the leaflets urged. "We want no hotheads to
